CiiiCAcio, October 21, lOOr. 

Hon. John S. Dcrpa, Cliairnian, 

Committee on Street Nomenclature. 

Dear Sir — Pursuant to request of your committee, I beg to submit herewith 
plan for new system of house-numbering for the City of Chicago, together 
with tabulated statement of duplicate and other street names requiring a 
change. 

The instructions of your committee were to work out a new system of 
house-numbering, without disturbing the present system of street nomen- 
clature, excepting in the case of duplicate street names, and where one street, 
whether continuous or only open at intervals, had two or more different 
names. 

In addition, I was instructed by your committee not to include the 
down town district in the new house-numbering scheme but to leave the 
numbers in that portion of the city undisturbed. 

In the prepartion of the plan I have followed the instructions of your 
committee and find that the down town exception can be made with very 
little interference with the general scheme. 

As will be seen by reference to the maps accompanying this report, I 
recommend that State street be established as a north and south base line, 
and Madison street as the east and west base, from which two bases all 
houses be numbered on a basis of 800 numbers to the mile, or 100 numbers 
to the prevailing city block of 600 feet. Inasmuch as it is not the intention 
of your committee to make a change in the street nomenclature system an 
exception is made in the mile between Madison and 12th streets, where 1,200 
numbers are allotted, in order to conform with present conditions. Two 
other exceptions already exist, namely, between 12th and 22d streets, where 
we have 1.000 numbers to the mile, and between 22d and olst streets, where 
we have 900 numbers to the mile. These exceptions, however, are necessary 
in order to have the house numbers correspond with the intersecting streets, 
the names of which are not to be changed. 

On January 14, 1895, when the City Council passed a general ordinance 
which, among other things, changed the names of all north and south streets, 
from Crawford avenue west to the western limits of the city, to numbered 
avenues and courts. State street and 800 numbers to the mile were used as 
a basis from which to determine the numbers to be used for above mentioned 
avenues and courts, thus : Crawford avenue was five miles west of State 
street, 800 numbers to the mile, multiplied by five gave 4000 or 40th avenue 
for the new name, and so on out to the western limits of the city. 

If the plan of house nundjers now proposed be adopted the house num- 
bers on all east and west streets, from 40th avenue west to the city limits, 
would conform with the names of the north and south streets as at present 
existing. Thus, 4000 West North avenue would indicate the corner of 
North and 40th avenues, and 3200 West Fullerton avenue would likewise 
indicate the corner of Fullerton and .52d avenues. This is the same system at 
present in use on the south side, which has proven so satisfactory, and which 
would not be disturbed by the adoption of this proposed plan. 

In connection with the street nomenclature, all east and west streets, 
east of the north and south base line (State street), would be known just 

7- 



simply as Chicago avenue, 12th street, 43d street, etc., and west of the base 
line as West Chicago avenue. West 12th street. West 43d street, etc. 

All north and south streets which extend both north and south of the 
east and west base line would be known as North Halsted street, South 
Halsted street. North Spaulding avenue, South Spaulding avenue, etc., and 
all other north and south streets which lie wholly north or south of the base 
line ■would be known just simply as Cottage Grove avenue. Dearborn avenue, 
etc. This is all in conformity with the present street names and no change 
in prefixes would be required excepting those necessitated by the change 
from existing to proposed base lines. 

All east and west streets north of the point where State street runs into 
the lake would have the prefix "west," notwithstanding that there would 
be no streets east of the base line. This, however, is a point which it might 
be profitable for your committee to discuss. 

Among the advantages to be derived from the proposed system are the 
following: No change whatever is made in the present numbering system 
on north and south streets in the entire portion of the city lying between the 
south branch of the river and the southern limits of the city; this is practi- 
cally 60 per cent of the entire area. 

No change of house numbers is made on east and west streets in that 
portion of the city known as Austin, excepting in sections 16 and 17. 

In 75 per cent of the area of the city the house number would indicate 
its e.xact location. In the remaining 25 per cent the location would be in- 
dicated in one direction. 

A house situated on Devon avenue, say iVs miles west of State street, 
would have the same number as a house situated 4% miles w|est of State street, 
on say 87th street (18 miles away), and if a line were drawn between these 
two points all of the houses over which it passed, on east and west streets, 
would have exactly the same number. The same conditions would obtain 
on every street in the city, no matter what their direction. 

One change, however, would have to be made on all east and west 
streets south of 39th street and west of State street. These streets as at 
present numbered conform to the proposed system of 800 numbers to the 
mile or 100 numbers to the 600 foot block, and are numbered west from State 
street, but for some unaccountable reason instead of commencing with 
zero they commence with 100 at State street, running west. This makes 
the number on say 47th street, at 40th avenue, 4100 instead of 4000, which 
latter number would agree with the name 40th avenue, as at present existing. 
The effect of this change would be to reduce every house number on east 
and west streets in the territory above mentioned exactly 100. This would 
mean the changing of only one figure in the existing numbers and, therefore, 
would not be a very serious matter. 

All diagonal streets, like Lincoln avenue, Milwaukee evenue, Ogden 
avenue. Cottage Grove avenue, etc., would retain retain their names, and 
would be numbered and regarded as north and south or east and west streets, 
according to their general direction. 

The objections of property owners and business men to the general 
plan, because of financial loss through making necessary changes in any 
printed stationery, lettering on wagons, etc., could be overcome by making 
the ordinance efifective in say two or three years. This would give ample 
time to provide for the change without material financial loss. 

Following will be found tabulations under their respective headings, as 
follows : 

"Duplicate Street Names." 
Of these will be found 478. 



r^ 



"Street names in that portion of the city, formerly Austin, whicli should 
be changed to conform with names of their continuations in original city." 

A total of 37. 

"Street names which should be changed to conform with correct names 
of their continuations as established by ordinance of January 14, 1895." 

A total of 11. 

"Disconnected streets on the same line but with different names." 

The method to be pursued in making necessary changes in street names 
is a matter for your committee to decide. 

There are, of course, details to be considered in connection with the 
plan which I have not considered necessary to touch upon in this report but 
which can be taken up verbally, to better advantage, with 3'our committee. 

I trust that this report will meet with the approval of your committee, 
and I shall be glad to give any such verbal explanation of the plan as may be 
required. 

Respectfully submitted. 

Jno. D. Riley, 

Supt. of Maps.
